Conspecificity of two pocket mice, Perognathus goldmani and P. artus

BY

E. RAYMOND HALL AND MARILYN BAILEY OGILVIE

_Perognathus goldmani_ Osgood and _Perognathus artus_ Osgood from
southern Sonora, northern Sinaloa and adjoining parts of Chihuahua and
Durango, are two named kinds of the _Perognathus intermedius_ group of
pocket mice, of the subgenus _Chaetodipus_. Until now the two kinds
have been treated in the literature as two species. In both _goldmani_
and _artus_ the upper parts are Ochraceous-Buff (capitalized color
terms after Ridgway, Color Standards and Color Nomenclature,
Washington, D. C., 1912) having a strong admixture of black. The
lateral line is Ochraceous-Buff, and the underparts are white. _P.
goldmani_ is larger than _P. artus_ (see measurements beyond) and has
more inflated tympanic bullae and a relatively narrower (transverse to
long axis of skull) interparietal bone.
